So I finally got my BTO MBP 16. I was checking things out and fired up Coconut Battery only to find the battery’s health at 92.6% after 1 cycle, which seems way off spec for a brand new machine to me. I went through another cycle and it says the same. Is this normal? Trying to decide if I need to take it in.
 
I’m actually growing very skeptical of the battery reporting... Mine is swinging between 93 and 100 within a few minutes, and the cycle count increased by 3 without any battery discharge...
Battery life has otherwise been excellent.
 
Battery will be fine after couple of charging cycles. I had the same problem first.
